  • Very good detailed review!

  • would the battery last for a heavy user??

  • @songsers it lasts for 3 hours straight

  • @songsers yup, if you dont use it much it lasts almost 2 weeks, so for a heavy user it should last at least 5 days :)

  • if u notice that the desire in the presentation has live wallpaper wich eats a lot more memory and thats why the phone lags in the meniu.

  • HTC Desire or HTC Legend?

    The menu in Desire looks quite laggy. Legend doesn't have that as far as I've seen.

  • @Stannie7 Htc desire is quicker tbh cuz the htc legend is only 600ghz i think and the htc desire is 1gb hz :P

  • setting up the location on main screen??

  • does this thing record videos??

  • HOW DO I MASS STORAGE?

  • i think you got a dodgy Desire, all the problems that you have are fine with mine..

  • voice to text is available on my desire :)

  • would freindstream not working have anything to do with you not having a sim card in the phone???

  • DESIRE RULESS

  • guys, desire or desire hd and why?

  • @TheSDGT get the desire cause the price is sexy right now :) i would recommend getting desire hd ONLY if you make extensive use of camera (taking photos and videos).

  • @TheSDGT Desire, because you can get a Mugen extended battery and cover. The HD is a unibody design, making that impossible.

  • Ok good review, very instructive ....but.......man.....you just talked for 20 minutes straight!!!

  • @rudestan11 20 minutes is nothing! :)

  • How can i buy games from Market?

  • I'll get for my B-Day:D just 1 more week to go:D!!!!

  • igot phone yesterday love it 

  • OMG THE PHONE PWNS ASS!!

  • I had a question about HTC. A long time back I had a HTC Diamond that ran WM 6.1 and it was horrible, slow, and overheated and rebooted alot. Has HTC improved their hardware and reliability since then? Thanks.

    PS: Did you have any freezing issues while you tested this phone?

  • For those yet to get a Desire. All the new models have Super LCD screens rather than AMOLED ones. Also, voice search now works on the phone providing it has the latest Android 2.2 running on it.

  • Comment removed

  • @SthealthRaider Grats xD

  • this is awesome

  • I heard that the Desire has a tendency to overhead and/or reboot a lot. Have you noticed anything the verify this? Thanks

  • Leodee, what Phone do you actually use, that is actually yours that you have bought?

  • Is using the internet very good with this phone?

  • keep freezing... losing text, miss calls sent straight to answer machine, GPS looses signal, 3g cuts off, goes to car mode when is not in the car or connected to the car, answers on its one terms in loud speaker (embracing) open one text and it opens a completely different one and so on so on... .. not working as it shows on the box!!! anyone with the same problem??? if it did work is a fantastic phone!!!

  • Learn to talk a bit more clearly,...

  • leodee, if i buy this phone will i be able to access my o2 email from the device/phone?

  • This or the iphone 3gs?????

  • I have it, it's a great phone but the battery is bad. I charge it every day and i got pretty much every thing disabled when not using. I used to have an iphone 3g and i must say the iphone os is still ahead in terms of being user friendly, and works more smoothly no lags whatsoever . My desire is also very smooth but sometimes works faster and sometimes slower and the android crashed a few times already. Iphone's os is still a lot more reliable and flawless.

  • Is the mobile phone suitable for long time?

    Not that I buy it myself now and then there are better phones!

  • hi just wanted to know if we can set up multiple email accounts like on the blackberry. currently using the blackberry 8520. is this the best android phone in the market right now?

  • I GET MINE TOMORROWWW !!!!!!!!!!

  • what does everybody think, this phone or the HTC HD2???? cause im getting a new phone soon and im not so sure which one... i have heard alot of complaints of the crappy windows mobile os though so im tending to go towards this one... any help would be appreciated =D

  • Point 18:50 I can see "text to Speach" option?

  • I think HTC Desire and Samsung Wave S8500 are an ideal Phones,,,Thumbs Up for Both

  • Is that Android 2.1 or 2.2?

  • I freaking LOVE my HTC Desire !!!

  • HTC fuckin pwns Apple phone wise

  • is it possible for people to send songs to me and I can send songs to them?

  • the nexus one

    has more than the desire

    but you may haverelaised it has:

    too many patches

    it crashes alot

    not as nice layout (my opinion)

    no bottom quick keys

    i think i would like the htc a little bit more

  • Hey Matt i was wondering how much is this phone now ? In UK

  • Hi Matt, could you please show us how to change internet settings on htc desire? also can you please explain that what is HSPDA, and diffrence between 2g and 3g.

    thanks

  • Hi great video it helped a lot... could u please help me change ringtone on msm and I dont know how I done it but my grandads pic is all my album covers can you tell me how I get it back to the music note please. thank you :-)

  • hey man.. was just wondering, which is better, HTC HD2 or the HTC Desire?

    maybe interms of screen responsive n such..

    thx man

  • @lollolzlolx they both have a 1 ghz snapdragon processor but the hd2 has about 100mb less ram... on the other hand its made for entertainmetn so it plays movies and stuff of that nature way better than the desire so it depends what you like if your more of a movie person (even tho watching movies on your phone ist too useful unless u take long drives) or just somebody who likes a good smartphone. id go with the desire since it also plays movies just not aswell... go to htc.com and compare 4 info

  • wat about first generation desire against the first generation motorola milestone? thats what im stuck on i dont know which one to decide on...

  • can you add a picture to your lock screen and a live wallpaper to your background the same time?

  • I bought mine and got it over a month now, I like it alot , get it asap, it's kewll

  • how is diz compared to the samsung's galaxy s????

  • I don't watch adverts.

  • Is web free when there is wifi? Sorry, I'm totally primitive.

  • I just wonder, is it big, like iphone??

  • @hojsoj88 It's a bit bigger then the iphone cuz of the 3.7 inch screen.

  • Will you be doing a review with the Android 2.2 Froyo update? If you could that would be really great. I love these reviews btw!

  • One question regarding the Desire. If I am on contract and got an internet allowance, and say I was outside using the net, and then I entered my house which has a wi-fi connection, is there any sort of setting or app which automatically will change it to that wifi connection whenever I am within reach of it?

  • In terms or performance AND style - would you recommend the Desire or Legend?

    I know both are fairly similar, and I'm not that bothered about the extra crap like animated backgrounds etc.

    I'd like something fairly good looking and also quite powerful for multitasking purposes and the internet. I know Desire is much more powerful and the screen is larger but the Legend is better looking but also has some good specs so I'm quite confused.

  • htc desire or nokia n97?? what do u recommend?

  • @00RosesAreBloodRed00

    I have the nokia N97 since april 2010 and ive had to take it back to the retailer 3 times.Its very slow and it freezes.one of the worst phones nokia has ever made!!!!

  • @00RosesAreBloodRed00

    I have the nokia N97 since april 2010 and ive had to take it back to the retailer 3 times.Its very slow and it freezes.one of the worst phones nokia has ever made!!!!

  • @toulikef same here what a piece of shit that phone was , i upgraded for free to the desire an its spot on

  • @PowderRanger00 Funnily enough im getting the HTC Desire in the mail next week.A friend of mine has the Desire and she absolutely loves it!!

  • i am also looking for a phone. I like something that has a touchscreen, wifi, and is average size. Not too big nor too small. Can you help me/recommend anything I would like? I really enjoyed this review and was wondering if the HTC Desire is worth the money. Thanks.

  • the htc desire is all the money worth. My friend is working for a big phone company and we have tried all the touch models at his house. And htc desire is way faster than the iphone g3 for ex. The internet part of the desire is the fastest smartphone on the marked. Try to youtube htc desire vs iphone... you'll see that most critics would recommend desire in overall judgement.

  • @DanishPowerRules if you really have tried all touch models you would have known that HTC Evo 4G, Motorola Droid X and Samsung Galaxy S is way more faster then Desire

    Desire is really a last year model when it comes to top products and why compare Desire with IPhone only?

  • @DanishPowerRules og så skriver jeg sgu engelsk til en dansker:-)

  • @AudiBoison haha Sikke en sammen træf..

  • @AudiBoison fair nok. Men jeg har stået begge modeller i hånden og opdagede en hurtigere telefon i desire. Siden 2.2 er kommet ud virker telefonen endnu hurtigere, så ved ik hva jeg skal tro på efterhånden med diverse telefoner??? :S

  • @DanishPowerRules ja, men bare vent til Galaxy S kommer med 2.2 så bliver der ballade:-)

  • HOW DO I SAVE PHOTOS STRAIGHT TO SD CARD INSTEAD OF INTERNAL MEMORY? PLEASE HELP

  • No light sensor?

  • I am planning to get a new phone and I was wandering which one you would recommend out of the HTC Desire, HTC Wildfire or Samsung Galaxy S....???

    Right now I am going towards the Samsung but the Desire looked and felt better overall in terms of productivity and the Samsung was a bit plastic at the back.....? Plse help! :S

    Thanks in advance.....

  • @techdroid7 I'd go for the Desire, I prefer the Sense UI over the Samsung TouchWiz UI thing they have! and the Wildfire is basically a mini desire!

  • @shanec2008 kl, thanks! ;)

  • album art doesn't work on my HTC Smart which is a very bad phone, upgrading to desire

  • hate this british accent

  • Samsung Galaxy S or HTC Desire considering they both cost £400 where I'm buying one?

  • Help pliz, should I get the desire or the aria??!

  • you can use google voice search u just need to download the app

  • aerosmith? jesus

  • it is possible to use desire in an aircraft without turning off phone (flight mode)??

  • I am looking for a new phone, and was wandering which you would recommend out of these 3 handsets.. HTC Desire.. Nokia N900.. Sony Ericsson Xperia X10..

    My favourite is the N900, but which do you think is best?? MAny thanks, Jake.

  • @SMOOODY13 Desire would get my vote out of the three.

  • @leodee Ok, thanks! :)

  • @leodee mine too, by myself i have desire for 2 weeks now.. and the only thing that is boring there is that you can do everything, download everything and play everything... it feels like there are no bounderies... :) my friend has N900 and there is bad screen.. scratch easily and the keyboard is boring :) my vote for desire

  • @leodee SAME

  • @leodee I got the HTC Desire HD last October thanks to your advice & videos on the standard Desire.. It is amazing!! Can't thankyou enough for making my mind up!!

    Thanks again, Jake :)

  • @SMOOODY13

    Desire.

    The Desire and the iPhone 4G are the only top quality handsets to get at this moment in time.

  • @agyeiboateng I was really looking forward to the iPone 4, but I can't afford £599 to get one (though i'm not sure if the price has changed now), and I need flash player, which the iPhone doesn't have..

    I can get a Desire on Amazon for less than £400, though I'm going to wait for my contract to end in a couple of months and see what's available, hopefully i'll be able to get the Desire..

    Thanks for your help! :)

  • @SMOOODY13

    No Probs. Yeah the iphone 4 is madness. It'snot as good as the hype and price suggests. £500 spent on a phone is madness. The only reason i would want an iphone is because i have itunes and probably more apps but that's about it really. Plus the new iphone has reception problems which can be ''fixed'' by a bumper case and that may not be a great result! The Desire would be good for you!

  • @SMOOODY13 Same here, desire rocks

  • @SMOOODY13

    the x10 is boarderline broken and is in bad need of the promised update to andriod 2.1

    desire is probably your best bet

  • @SMOOODY13 desire

  • @SMOOODY13 HTC Desire, hands down.

  • @SMOOODY13 100 percent desire ;)

  • @SMOOODY13 HTC desire definitely :)

  • @SMOOODY13 hello! Man, N900 actually freezes when you place more than 5-10 apps. Great hardware, but the OS is pretty sloppy, plus the display is resistive.

    I'd go for a Desire or... a 3GS. :)

    Cheers !

  • @SMOOODY13 hi there... i personally like Desire. my brother now using N900 it's a good phone but my brother's is a bit slow sometimes it lags. correct me if it's not the case for anyone else phone. SE x10 looks good too but i dont like the fact tat it has no multi touch. As u can see here desire is lighting fast. widget is nice way to work n play wit ur phone.

  • @silvercado Hey! Thanks for the advice, I agree N900 is slow & laggy. Last October though, I got an HTC Desire HD :):) I got it the week it was available & it is simply outstanding!! iPhone is hopeless compared to it!! Never lags, though I needed a task killer & case which was easy to get. Never froze or broken down, and seeming as i'm on in 24/7, and drop it all the time, its brilliant! Camera is slightly disappointing after my last phone, but the HTC Desire HD is simply the best phone EVER! :)

  • @SMOOODY13 Every thumb agrees o;

  • @SMOOODY13 Im really not taking the X10, i have it now, and im very unhappy with it.. thinking of buying desire or wildfire.

  • I know someone who has the voice search on her htc desire. She said she downloaded the app.

  • 333 vids

  • hello sir. is there a limit on SMS capacity on HTC Desire? thanks.

  • @ravenchad

    its virtually unlimited, hundreds and hundreds

  • Btw the phone runs MUCH MUCH faster without the Live wallpaper.

  • I don't know what to get .. this or the blackberry bold 9700.. is the HTC too large? and is the blackberry's screen too small?

    Really cant decide!!

  • @krayziir

    Desire mate 1g pro LED screen gr8 cam

    Best phone ive had

  • @krayziir go for the HTC, blackberry is like apple. wants to do it all there way. android is the only normal one, with witch you can do what YOU want

  • bset review on youtube imo

  • can I update the android 2.1 to 2.2 in the future ?

  • fuckin ads are ruining every video

  • Can you add a hotmail account?

  • @huggie28 dude - if you can get online then you should be able to. I'll let you know when I've got mine ;o)

  • I am really loving these long vids, keep em coming! (p.s. I just ordered my newly available us 3G desire today!)

  • @antontum the HD2 is a WINMO phone this is android

  • I want this phone. I have the droid eris 2.1 OTA and I have voice to text.

  • Friends stream on mine works fine...

  • got mine today...awesome!! :-)))))

  • my next phone definatly!!!!!

  • with the time/date/freind stream problem it might be because thers no sim in it?

  • Very informative review, and very nice phone. Hoping to get one myself fairly soon.

  • Very nice demo

  • I get this phone very soon :D

  • getting this phone this week, had a demo in the virgin media shop and is looking forward to getting it for £20 a month :D

  • i know this might sound a bit childish but does the DESIRE offer that weather interface which shows what the weather is outside, for example if its raining windshield wipers come out ??

    which you consider this phone to be alot like the htc INCREDIBLE coming out soon for verizon if so in what ways ? thanks for your time

  • @TheLucky13velez - why not wait for the HTC Evo? It wipes the floor (almost!) with the Desire!

  • @123Geezer Yes, but it will be much more expensive than the Desire ;)

  • @Hotknife1989 -true (if you're in the UK it's pointless anyway coz we only have 3G)

    Has anyone else been waiting for the Desire in UK? It's been almost a month since I ordered mine. Absolutely no stock - I'd go elsewhere but the deal I got is arguably one of the best out there.

  • @123Geezer I'm getting my Desire this week. Got mine from CEX exchange, its an unlocked 2nd hand Desire but Grade A. Gonna cost me £205 with my HTC Touch Pro 2 traded in. Can't wait!

  • i have a question i know this might sound a bit dumb but it does have that effect with the weather for example when it rains the windshield wipers come out or the sun rays ?

    would you consider this phone to be alot like the ne HTC INCREDIBLE coming out on the 29 ? -

  • @TheLucky13velez yes it does
